of Thanks,

The Convention Of Master Me-
chanics Closes With Resolutions
of Thanks.
The third and last days session of the
American Railway Master Mechanics
association was called to order in the
chamber of commerce yesterday morn
ing shortly after 9 o'clock. The first
business transacted was the reading of
papers on different subjects of interest
to the master mechanics, which had
/ been prepared by special committees,
The first paper read was on the various
plans in use in coaling UP locomotives,
and their relative cost and efficiency.
The paper was prepared by j. Davis
Barnett. of the Midland road; James
Strobe, of the Northern Central, and
Charles Graham. of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna d Western road. The next paper
was on locomotive preparation.
The paper treated of washing and
lighting locomotives, showing the best
system in use for washing out, and the
most economical and expeditions mode
of raising steam and the necessary plant
for the same. The committee who pre-
pared the paper consisted of q. w.
Ettenger, of The Chesapeake & Ohio
road: w. III. Thomas. of the East Ten
nasee,- Virginia & Georgia, and T. w.
Gentry, of the Richmond Il Danville
road. The next paper was on the
standard form of tire setting, prepared
by J. n. Lauder, of the Old Colony
road; Jacob Johann, of the Texas &
Pacific, and II. NJ. Sprague, of Pitts
burg. The last paper was on the sub
ject, SWhat Control Has the Engineer
Over the Wear of Drive Wheels?" This
paper was prepared by John Mckenzie,
of the N9w York, Chicago & st. Louis
road; j. G.. Graham, of the Lake
Shore Il Michigan Southern, and
Fred B. Griffith, of the Della
ware. Lackawanna & Western road.
The secretary then read the report of
the committee Oh revision of the con-
Stitution. There was majority and
minority report, one being materially
different from the old constitution and
the other differing only in a few in
stances. The difference of opinion in
regard to the constitution was due to
the fact that only part of the COM
mittee was present at the meeting held
for the purpose of revision, and it was
thought best to continue the committee
for another year, in order to give the
inein'ers an opportunity to harmonic
oil the subject. The noon hour having
arrived, President Johann announced

His Employers Say They Would
Have Been Glad to Help Him.

Special to the Globe.
q NEW York, June 23.-The friends of
E. III. De Boer here are at loss to ac-
count for his suicide III st. Paul. He
did not have enough ready money with
him to involve any serious loss at
gambling and his accounts with the
firm for which he travelled were not
0yerdrawn. A member of the firm said
to-day he would have been glad to help
De B0er out of any little money diff

The young mans mother did not know
of the suicide till she read it in the
morning papers and the shock was so
great that her life is despaired of. De
BOer was well connected. Two broth
ers are now on their way to st. Paul to
bring home the body.

AMONG the acts passed by Congress- but
which were not signed by the President, was
one authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury
to deliver to the rightful owners the contents
of certain boxes deposited in the Treasury
Department by the Secretary Of War. This
looks like an honest restitution of property,
but it might mean more. Among the effects
deposited in the Treasury Department by the
War Department are certain articles alleged
to have been worn by Jefferson Davis when
captured at the close of the war. These arti-
cles possess historic interest and will acquire
greater value as time passes. In future years,
when the effort is made, as undoubtedly it
will be, to elevate the leader of the Rebellion
as hero and patriot, it may help to clear up
the doubts in some wavering mind to see the
female garments in which the arch traitor
tried to get off with the bedraggled remnants
of the lost cause.

THE Rev DR.. Snyder, of st. Louis, has Just
returned to that city from a visit to Maine,
where he made special inquiry as to the opera
tion of prohibition. He says he is more con-
WINGED than ever that it is failure and cor
rupting influence. He says the law is openly
condemned by intelligent persons of all par
ties, and is allowed to stand simply because
the party leaders hesitatet 70 make the issue. The
extreme rrohibitionists are demanding more
stringent legislation, and DR.. Snyder predicts
as the final result dangerous reaction towards
free whisky. "The law" he says, 'fs de-
spised in way that makes any lover of law

light law, either, but one that has taken a
place in the very Constitution. What must

FoR man whose credentials have not been

fraudulently elected, Mr.. Turpie seems to be
assuming a good deal of authority. Accord
ing to the Washington correspondent Of a
Democratic exchange, letters have been re-

which the latter intimates that he desires to
have voice in the matter of appointing a

management of Indiana affairs must fall into
new hands, Otherwise the party cannot rally
with the necessary power and enthusiasm to

cause France desires it. She wants revenge,
wants to recover her lost prestige, and wants
Alsace and Lorraine back. AS she can get
none Of these without fighting for them, it is
natural she should cultivate war feeling.
The military preparations of France are aggres-

would not hesitate to provoke war if she was
sure she could recover what she has lost; Ger
many does not desire war, but will accept it
rather than surrender any thing she has gained.
She prefers peace, but is prepared for war, and
under the septenate will be better prepared
than ever. The passage of this measure will
add to the already heavy burdens of the Ger
man people, and increase the tremendous
strain they are under to maintain the army.
Thus, while it increases their fighting force
for the present, it will diminish their resources
and staying power for the future. The en-
